Breeders Crown champions Sandbetweenmytoes and Next Level Stuff win qualifiers at Harrah’s Philadelphia

A pair of 2020 Breeders Crown champions, the now 4-year-olds Sandbetweenmytoes and Next Level Stuff, both won qualifiers on Tuesday (April 13) for trainer Jim Campbell at Harrah’s Philadelphia.

The Somebeachsomewhere-Galleria pacing gelding Sandbetweenmytoes followed up on a 1:55.3 qualifying triumph here last week with a 1:53 victory despite a “good” surface Tuesday. Driver Scott Zeron was a three-time winner on the morning; Campbell, who sent out four winners during the a.m. session, looks to have this one ready for facing the older stock for owner Fashion Farms.

The Sebastian K S trotting distaff Next Level Stuff stepped her own last half in :57.2 in a 1:55.4 win for Campbell, Zeron, and the Runthetable Stables in her initial racetrack appearance since her Breeders Crown victory. Her dam, Nantab, got a production double credit as the sophomore Creatine gelding Take All Comers, a 1:52.3 winner at two, came home in :56.4 to draw away in a 2:00.2 mile for Campbell, Runthetable, and driver David Miller.

Another sophomore worth noting was the Somebeachsomewhere–Swinging Beauty gelding Whichwaytothebeach, who stepped his own last half in :55.4 in a 1:55.4 triumph. Andrew McCarthy guided the Brett Pelling trainee, who won in 1:51.1f at two, for owners Alan Johnston and John Craig.
